Question 1

Can I book a podiatry telemedicine appointment if I live out of state or out of the country?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Dr. Robert Joseph offers telemedicine consultations for patients who are out of state, out of the country, traveling, or unable to visit in person. A virtual visit is often the best first step to evaluate symptoms and determine whether in-person care is necessary.

Question 2

What foot and ankle conditions can be evaluated through telemedicine?

Accepted Answer

Many conditions can be evaluated virtually, including heel pain, plantar fasciitis, bunions, forefoot pain, tendon or ligament injuries, nail and skin concerns, post-operative follow-ups, orthotic guidance, and second opinions. If hands-on care is required, we will recommend an in-person visit.

Question 3

How does a telemedicine podiatry appointment work?

Accepted Answer

After scheduling, you’ll meet with Dr. Robert Joseph via a secure video visit. During the appointment, we’ll review your symptoms, discuss your medical history, and outline a treatment plan or next steps based on your condition.

Question 4

When is an in-person podiatry visit recommended?

Accepted Answer

An in-person visit may be recommended if a physical exam, imaging, or procedure is required, or if there are signs of infection, circulation issues, severe pain, or a condition that requires hands-on evaluation. If needed, you can visit one of our six Los Angeles locations or two Bay Area offices.

Question 5

Can telemedicine help determine if surgery is necessary?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Telemedicine is often used to evaluate symptoms, review prior diagnoses, and discuss treatment options, including whether surgical care should be considered and what next steps may be appropriate.

Question 6

Can I get a second opinion through a virtual podiatry visit?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Telemedicine is a convenient way to obtain a second opinion about your foot or ankle condition and discuss treatment options without traveling to an office unnecessarily.

Question 7

How do I schedule a telemedicine consultation with Dr. Robert Joseph?
